LAS VEGAS — Organizers of Agent Summit announced that Dylan Doran, founder and president of Western Fidelity Insured Services Inc. (WFIS), will serve as a featured speaker at the 2016 event, which will be held May 9–11 at the Venetian Palazzo Las Vegas.

“I’m honored to be speaking at this year’s Agent Summit, joined by such a tremendous group of entrepreneurs,” Doran said. “As business owners, we are always focused on growth, and new account acquisition is central to achieving that growth in our agencies. I’m looking forward to not only contributing to this year’s conference, but also gleaning some knowledge from the rest of the group.”

A 22-year automotive industry veteran, Doran served in leadership positions with Jim Moran & Associates and Protective Asset Protection before launching WFIS in 2014. He will serve as the featured speaker for the “Selling to Dealers” portion of the Agent Summit agenda.

Doran’s session, “Buried Treasure in the Yellow Pages,” will begin at 10:15 a.m. on Wednesday, May 11. He is expected to focus on targeting prospects, earning appointments and effectively presenting an agency’s value proposition.

“Dylan brings unquestioned expertise in dealer acquisition as well as the nuts and bolts of running an agency,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “It’s an important topic and one to which he is perfectly suited.”

Registration for Agent Summit is now open at the event’s website as well as by phone, fax and email. Attendees who register by April 4 will enjoy a $100 discount.
